“The Right Words at the Right Time: Marlo Thomas and Friends”
2002
Chuck Close Chapter, pages 50 to 52, quote on 52.
“I’m not a hero. I have a wife who fought for me, and I’m an optimist by nature. But that’s not all it takes. You have to be lucky with your body, too. I don’t believe in the punish-the-victim mentality I saw in the hospital. This was the notion that if you didn’t get better it was because you didn’t have the right attitude. But, you know, life isn’t always fair. Some people in the hospital refused to go to therapy and would lie around and whine and be shitty to the nurses and they got better. And some other people had wonderful attitudes, worked their butts off, but didn’t get better at all.”

Education

“According to “A Is for Answers” in September, my school should be a dismal failure: over 2400 students, 80% minority, teachers never make over $48K. Surprise! Over 90% of our students pass the state exam, and the dropout rate is only 2.2%. How! We hire pros and treat them as such. No signing in, no curriculum guides (other than state mandates), no micromanaging. Just a strong program for rookie teachers to bring them into the “family.”

“I have always felt that the large eastern universities are sought after for no reason other than name. When my children were applying to college we discovered that many prominent people went to state schools and did quite well. So I told them they could go to any college they wanted as long as it was in state. All three went to schools that offered excellent educations, lower tuition, smaller campuses and, best of all, teachers that are all Ph.D.s and do their own teaching–no grad students teaching like in bigger universities. My children are happy and doing well, all for about a third of what Harvard costs.”
